Anything specific to brag about over there? Havent been there either. Hear they don't have a bar to wait at (not great) and that appetizers are OK. Don't know much more.
i was there in the summer,don't remember what I had, but the service was A+

They definitely have a bar.

Apps are pretty good. I love their steak sandwich.

I was unimpressed with Brasserie halevi as was most of the people Ive spoken with.  Bistro is very solid but with the price hike I feel its a little overpriced

It seems like anything in the 5T thats expensive is better in the city and other then that there isn't too much amazing stuff around.

Was such a breath of fresh air. It's not every day you get service with a smile when ordering fast food in the five towns.
Will deff be going back.

Carlos and Gabbys is getting worse and worse

Holy Shnitzel is the best fast food in the 5 towns in my opinion.

Traditions is the best delicatessen in the 5 towns.

I got a flyer on my car. It's called Mike's burger now. Maybe new owner? I should try it out.

Those are both takeout places only.

And Schwartz is parve so certainly doesn't qualify as a Deli.
